Join us on Thursday, October 29 at 5 PM at The Mad Batter for a Beef & B**r Benefit in support of a local family close to our hearts.

Dustin, his wife Kathleen, and their children have been navigating an incredibly difficult journey together. Through it all, Dustin has continued to face his cancer diagnosis with remarkable positivity, becoming an inspiration to the family, friends, and community surrounding him.

After a year already marked by immense loss, Dustin and his family are now once again facing a recurrence of his cancer. Dustin is currently undergoing treatment in preparation for surgery. While the challenges this diagnosis brings go far beyond what money can fix, anything we can raise will help ease some of the burden and give Kathleen and the kids a little more normalcy during this incredibly difficult time.

Please join us as we come together for Dustin, Kathleen, and their family. Tickets are $25 and include Beef & B**r, with raffles and a 50/50 throughout the evening.

Presale tickets are encouraged. Stop into The Mad Batter or The Cricket Club to purchase tickets (cash only). Tickets will also be available the day of the benefit at The Mad Batter.

A special thank you to Ludlam B**r, our b**r sponsor for the evening, and to everyone helping us come together in support of a local family when they need their community most.
